Summary: | Reports field work on ice-push ramparts in the Whitegull Lake area of Quebec Province (55 30 N, 64 15 W). Modes of formation of ramparts during the partial open water season are reviewed and examples illus. Raised shorelines described by Low (No 10377) are re-interpreted as possible ice-push ramparts. Comparison of the Labrador Peninsula lakes with proglacial lakes in Baffin Island may assist interpretation of these features. |
